how many computers are in your house?

inspired by the platform thread

3 here

EDIT: oops 4...forgot the pocketpc

EDIT2: guess i should clarify since everyone else is...main rig, server, htpc, pocketpc...and the parts pile in the corner 😀
 
When I'm in the dorms, just my computer (roommate doesn't count since I barely talk to him 😛). When I'm at home for the summer/spring break/whatever, it's 3 - including my brother's and mom's computers.

including my PPCs, I have 6. Normal working computers, 4. Old computers that I boot up to play duke nukem... 3.

Wanna get rid of one of those so I can play XCOM? My 486/DX2 80 just crapped out on me. 😛
 
Depends upon whether we're counting ones that are mine or the ones that are my housemates. If we're just counting personal ownership I have three in the house (two other's at my parent's on loan). Namely a P4 3.0Ghz, a PII 233 (fileserver) & a PowerTower Pro 225 (PPC 604e). I don't really count PocketPCs as PCs but if we want I guess I could add my Axim X30 Advanced to the mix. If we count total in the household we're looking at six.
 
Just counting my standard x86 kit, that's 2 servers, and 2 desktop PCs, although 1 hasn't been plugged in yet.

That's not a lot, but you should see the size of my room. It's a matchbox.

3.

my main axp 3200+ rig, an eMac, and a pile of parts i'm pretty sure can be made into a third.

lol if we're counting parts piles i probably have 6 😛

As one of the people who didn't start this thread, I can officially say that yes, parts piles count. 😀
 
i'm surprised no die-hard folders or any of the other "donate your CPU time to science" people have showed up to say "I have 49 computers and my house is always 100 degrees F in the winter" 😀

EDIT: i cannot type...
 
Two.

XP 1700+ running XP for general/family use
P2 400 running Ubuntu for my use, in my room.

Partial PCs really shouldn't count, but if they did, my total would be about 5. I have a Cyrix 586-100 and a P133 sitting right next to me.
 
Main Rig (XP2400+)
Backup PC (XP2100+)
Mac (G3 400)
Server (XP1600+)
HTPC (P4 1.6Ghz)
CarPC (Via Epia M1000N)
MP3 Jukebox (Celeron 433 with touchscreen)
SFF Gaming box (P4 1.7Ghz)
Kitchen PC (Via Epia C3 800)
Laptop (Celeron 1Ghz)
Backup Laptop (PII 300)
Work Laptop (PIII 1Ghz)
Personal computer at parent's place (XP2000+)
Personal computer at sister's place (Celeron 1.2Ghz)

I need to consolidate some...
